Aircraft with underseat storage ahead of Y bulkhead?
My recollection from pre-pandemic times is that at least some AS aircraft had just a curtain separating Y from F, allowing the Y/premium class bulkhead seat occupant to store belongings under the first class seat in front.
Is that the case for many aircraft - if so, which models don’t have this feature, and instead sport a solid wall?
Thanks....

That's exactly what was being asked. All AS aircraft give passengers in the first row of Y the ability to store bags under the F seat in front of them. The most recent exception would have been the Airbus' before they were all reconfigured.

For someone who likes to sit as far forward in Y as possible - mainly to avoid view blockage from the wing and engine - but doesn’t like storing things overhead, this is a real plus. Way to go AS!
